Wolfcraig 30 year old, 46.3%

Price: 899 Issue: Winter 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Finished in Pedro Ximénez casks, this collabo- ration between Wolfcraig’s two master blenders has a nose of polished wood, cacao, cigar stub, ground cinnamon, crushed peppercorn, vanilla essence, fruity coffee beans, and ginger cake. On the tongue, chocolate, ginger, cinnamon, pepper, caramelized sugar, aged balsamic vinegar, and dried cherry meld together seamlessly. Toffee sweetness emerges as pepper and ginger linger through the lengthy spicy finish.
